Pre-Owned Yamaha YTS-82Z Custom Z Professional Tenor Saxophone - Lacquer
We are incredibly excited to offer a pre-owned Yamaha YTS-82Z Custom Z Professional Tenor Saxophone in stunning condition. Developed in collaboration with some of the world’s leading players, the Custom Z series was designed to be the ultimate modern jazz horn. It perfectly captures the rich, colorful, and free-blowing characteristics of vintage American and French saxophones, while delivering the flawless scale and lightning-fast keywork that Yamaha is celebrated for.
Whether you are tearing through complex bebop lines, blending in a big band section, or projecting over an electrified rhythm section, the Custom Z offers a massive dynamic range and an incredibly flexible tonal palette that allows you to easily find your own unique voice.
Yamaha YTS-82Z Custom Z
-
Lightweight Construction: The YTS-82Z features a special French brass alloy and a lighter overall build compared to the Custom EX line. This gives the horn an immediate, explosive response and a highly resonant, vibrating feel in the hands.
-
One-Piece Hand-Hammered Bell: The bell is formed from a single sheet of brass, providing excellent projection, a rich acoustic core, and brilliant resonance from the lowest sub-tones to the altissimo register.
-
Custom Neck Taper: Engineered to provide the perfect balance of resistance and airflow, allowing for wide dynamic contrasts and effortless note slotting.
-
Domed Metal Resonators: The pads feature domed metal resonators that help deliver a punchy, articulate, and clear sound that cuts through any mix.
Condition & Playability
